Listen "Dr. Anita Somani, OBGYN & Ohio State Representative"

Episode Synopsis

Dr. Anita Somani is an OBGYN, robot extraordinaire, women's health advocate, and currently serving her first term as State Representative for Ohio’s 11th House District.
I met Dr. Somani as a medical student and she has been a mentor of mine to this day. I wanted to discuss her path to being a state representative but she has so much experience that we will need a part two!
In this episode, we talk about Dr Somani's path in medicine, owning her own practice, being an early adopter of the robot - and coming up to robot number 2500!! We talk tips and tricks on the robot and then end with the journey to start representative!
This episode is full of great stories and several learning points from Dr Somani's vast experience!
I have also linked several articles including the committee opinion and publication Dr Somani referenced, as well as ACOGs Health Equity Curriculum! Hope you enjoy!
